RECORDING WORKSHOP
From Photo to Abstract:
Decide Before You Paint
WITH LIFETIME ACCESS
What you'll see and learn:
How do you decide where to put color and tone, and which shapes stay positive and which become negative,
when you paint an abstract from a photo?
This workshop answers it on one landscape reference, in real time
How Sterling plans the painting with a quick marker sketch before any paint touches the paper
How he chooses the shape that leads the scene and what he simplifies or removes
How he decides which shapes are positive and which are negative
Where he places color and tone, and where he moves away from the photo on purpose
How the sketch becomes a finished watercolor landscape, with Sterling explaining each choice as he makes it
Your workshop with Sterling Edwards
Marker sketch, shapes, color and tone, full landscape. Each principle is shown and explained on one reference,
in the order Sterling works
1. Sterling presents the reference and makes a quick marker sketch. He shows how he will change the scene:
which shape leads, what he simplifies, where color and depth depart from the photo
2. He paints the whole landscape in watercolor and stops at the moments where decisions happen
3. Sterling answers your questions at the end
